Real Cat’s not all that please with the snow statue that’s supposed to be him. Real Cat’s pulling out Snow Cat’s whiskers, one by one. Already got all of them on the right side.

There’s always one in every litter. The friendly greeter. Not a bit afraid of humans. Will calmly approach and be incredibly cute and sweet. Like they chose you, and only you, especially. Of course it totally melts you and you adopt them on the spot—-if you have even one heart cell still alive, that is.

Kittens are like infants. They can go to sleep ANYWHERE in an instant, and sleep the sleep so deeply it’s like the sleep of the dead. I wish I slept like that.

My cat likes to play with water, but if a drop of water falls from my hand onto her, she's runs away like she's being burned by holy water.

Now you have a buddy to sing along with you off key in the shower.

My youngest granddaughter takes her Kitty into the shower ever since he was eight weeks old and seems to like it. Strange Kitty (that's his name).

I gave up trying to bath my black cat. Between the slashing claws, biting and blood curdling screams that the neighbors could hear, I was beaten.

I used to bathe my cat that way. He finally got used to it. And I could wear shorts again.

My late Zeva used to love to get in the shower with me, then she'd lick the water in the tub. I had to put her water bowl in the tub because she would splash around in it before she drank.

I felt really bad but the neighbors cat gave our cats fleas so we had to give them flea baths. One of our neighbors cats was really shy and I was the only she trusted. So I had to give her the flea bath. She didn't like me afterwards.

This is animal cruelty and it’s disgusting. The cat is terrified.

Are you serious? That's ridiculous. Bathing a cat is not "animal cruelty". Shockingly, sometimes cats get into things that they shouldn't, and NEED to be bathed. Are you saying it's better to leave a potentially toxic or dangerous substance on the cat's fur so it can lick it off when it grooms itself? Bathing a cat is not cruel or abusive. Bathing a cat will not kill or harm the cat, nor will it be permanently traumatized. In fact, it's better to bathe a cat in a shower with a hose attachment vs. jamming the cat into a bucket or sink, as the cat can move around in the shower. I had an elderly cat who sometimes had diarrhea and had accidents and soiled herself. I bathed her regularly in the shower. No, she didn't like the water/bath, but it didn't traumatize her. She got a treat afterwards and was fine. It's patently absurd to call bathing a cat "animal cruelty". I'm not advocating bathing a cat needlessly, as that can be harmful to their skin, but cats sometimes need to be bathed.

This is what I WANTED when I adopted my second cat. Instead, little brother bops big sister in the literal bútthole 50 times a day with his paw. Big sister responds with goblin noises and runs off. Little brother gives chase, resulting in more goblin noises from big sister. Rinse and repeat XD
